STRK notes for new students

Effective Monday, 2/7/12, we will begin doing STRK notes for new student group advising sessions:

1. The test proctor will print 3 “Group Advising Check In” sheets from the placement test database (see attached directions). 1 will be given to each advisor who is doing placement test advising (2 for the early session, 1 for the later session).
2. The proctor or advisor will check “ComEd Referral” if the student has been referred to ComEd for Reading or Writing.
3. Each advisor will check “attend” on the check-in sheet and take any notes they want to about the students in the session.
4. As soon as possible, advisors need to STRK the student. Let’s start by using “Advising Appointment” as the type. Start your note with “New student group advising”. If there’s nothing else you want to add, you can leave it at that.
5. When advisors finish with their notes, they will give their check-in sheets to Rosie.
6. Rosie will coordinate follow-up with students who don’t attend their group session and schedule them, when possible, for Jill’s Friday afternoon make-up sessions. Rosie will also record group advising attendance in the placement test database so we can report on our attendance rates for these sessions like we can for the placement test itself (more about this at staff meeting this week).

Please make sure you continue to STRK new students who have individual appointments with you as well.
